I missed CTD #179 due to illness but that is okay I don't own any of those colors anyway :P

Here is the card I did.

The Flu missed January but caught up to me in February

So for the last week I have been SICK! I hate being sick! Ok, it is nice to have everyone pamper you but the coughing and having no energy and just feeling blah.. not worth the pampering!
I am starting to see the light of day now! I am still coughing but it is just annoying not life threatening!
I wish my annual Flu had come in January like per "usual" because I missed Women's Conference and I was so sad to have to cancel my plans.

I was able to go to Sierra's last New Beginning's in YW. So many "lasts" this year.
They had asked us to bring a light that represents Sierra to us.
I started by saying that since I can't harness the SUN ☼ and bring it, the next best light was a spotlight. Her Dad says because the spotlight like Sierra is very bright and extremely focused. I added that just by being what the spotlight is it gives you light just like Sierra does. She is the Sunshine on a gloomy day!
It was a lovely evening!

When we got home Sierra checked her e-mail and she had recieved her housing assign ment for CSU and she got what she wanted. Roommate assignments comes later in the Spring. Wow! This is really happening!

Hopefully not to much longer now... I should start feeling better and can get back to working out and crafting! :)

Color Throw Down #178

I chose colors closest to the ones used. I did have a Summer Sun marker but I have none of the others. For Cajun Craze I used Really Rust. I did not have Early Expresso or Very Vanilla, so I used dark brown and white paper in place of them.
Also used were markers. Sahara Sand for the frog and Ballet Blue for the dragonfly
Stampin Up stamps used Unfrogettable and Hello again butterfly.
Paper Studios white brads and googley eyes Walmart.
I think it turned out quite well. I Love the yellow!
